When Danielle and Paige were ready to grow their family, they knew the route of a traditional sperm bank wasn't right for them.  They went to great lengths to  find a known donor by tapping into their own network and doing a TON of legwork.  After walking that path themselves, they decided to create The Seed Scout to help other families who were looking for options beyond the big, impersonal and deeply flawed major cryobanks.We discuss more about…..The journey of exploring alternative paths to parenthood beyond traditional sperm banks.The significance of building trusting relationships with potential donors.Establishing The Seed Scout as a business.The need for ethical and transparent practices in the donor conception industry.Acknowledging donors as individuals and fostering a supportive environment.Connect with The Seed Scout!Follow them on social media!

If you’ve been going back and forth about whether or not to have a second child as a SMBC, you’re not alone! I frequently get asked about this topic, and it’s one that’s on my mind a lot these days. From making decisions about egg and embryo freezing to deciding on spacing between children to weighing the pros and cons of being “one and done”...there’s a lot to think about! In this episode, I’m opening the conversation and asking SMBCs with one or more kids to share their thoughts about growing their families. What drives their desire to add more, or conversely, what factors help them decide their family is complete as it is? These audio clips provide a range of perspectives and bring up lots of important considerations. As always, the goal of this podcast is to help women like you and me feel less alone, and I hope these reflections help to do that in some small way no matter where you are in your motherhood journey!
